Morning Coffee with Fanny

We all hit rock bottom differently but how we face it, is what matters the most. Some years back I abruptly decided to stop dating and take some time off. I felt like there was more to life other than just dating and I was craving something more mentally and emotionally. It wasn’t exactly a dark time in my life but a time for self realization. Till this day, I preach it was the best decision I ever made. I made that decision precisely when I was in a good place. I did not want to be just in a “good” place, I wanted to be in a better place. During my time off, I fully focused on me and what made me happy. I dedicated my time to reading, watching movies (this is also the period I fell in love with watching series), school, and going out to have fun (peacefully have fun). Oh and I ate a lot of take away. I became my own person and in the process I found a limitless abundance of happiness within. I gained the “happy weight” people gain when they are in happy relationships.  . When we t...

Rome was not built in one day. I am sure some of us, if not all, have hit a brick wall trying to figure ourselves out. I recall a point in my life, some years back I acknowledged and accepted that the most toxic person in my life was myself. I love to see my family, friends any anyone around me happy and was always bending to put them first in everything. My toxic trait was putting everyone first and expecting them to reciprocate and they did not even try.  Long story short, I looked within and asked myself why I felt the need to always be there for everyone and why I always neglected myself. Time allowed me these tiresome experiences, which led to my realisation that people were not the problem, I was. I had to start putting my needs and wants ahead of others. I took a leap of faith to detach myself from the world and be available to the parts of myself I had long neglected. Day after day, well thats an exaggeration, but week after week, I pushed myself to focus on my craft a...

 I cannot fathom how people work an 8 to 5 job each and everyday. I work every other week and boy do I get worn out. After work, I have devoted my time to grabbing some ice cream on my way home and it is something I count down to everyday. It is a way to calm and relax my nerves. In short, it pieces me back together. On that point, we all feel different after long hours of work and we need to unwind, therefore, it is very important for us to indulge in activities that make us, us. Activities that bring back our sanity. Having ice cream is just one way of doing just that, and dad has since jumped on the bandwagon and it is now a father-daughter "thing", besides bonding over wine. Certain people prefer to keep to themselves after work, but sometimes your ritual is your gateway to bonding with your loved ones (family and friends). Find something to do that relaxes you and enjoy doing it while you are at it. Affirmation: I am peace. HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS 

Alas! The five months of January have come to an end. Posting last month was a challenge and totally out of question as my schedule was quite hectic. But I pulled through and I am back with my weekly posts. 2020 definitely took us all by surprise and I would like to call this year 2020 2.0 reason being that last year we were blind sided but as we face the virus this year we have more experience.   We start off knowing that we know how to manoeuvre around the situation we are faced with. We keep our heads held high and we do not stop until we achieve our goals. Let us build ourselves and each other and make it an even greater year. You and i are meant to achieve more than we envision. And "when you think you have exhausted all possibilities, remember that you have not". Here is to you and I. Affirmation: I am love                                                 ...

Same old me, just different goals set to achieve. My Favourite time of the year is spending time with my  loved ones and more importantly, a time for me to reflect on my many achievements and lessons. What have you learned this past year? Mine,  my biggest achievement was not holding back. I achieved many amazing things. To top that achievement was starting this very blog you see. It kept me sane and tamed. I pushed myself to be consistent and not to second guess my writings. I did not sit around and wait for anyone to help me out, I created an opportunity for myself and took up the challenge that came with it.   With that being said, this is yet another time we go crazy setting new goals, big or small. You simply have to trust yourself. It’s like rewriting your story. We cannot control our destiny but we can control what we do in the present My related affirmation is: I believe in me. And I am a powerful force. As are you.              ...

  Aren’t I the most forgetful human?! I planned to take part doing blogmas, which is blogging everyday this December up until Christmas. Better late than never. So let’s dive right into the topic. I honestly thought I am more a movie over tv series type of girl this would be more easy, it was not. 1. How to get away with murder. Viola Davies that’s it. She is a super woman. I want to get into the heads of the writers to uncover how they wrote this brilliant series. Not once did it get boring. Not once. The last season was staggering. 2. The Big Bang theory. Is there a soul that lives and does not love this show? 3. Games of thrones. I remember my last semester in university like yesterday, reason being that I the last season of GOT was released during exam period. I tried my best to fight the edge and temptation to watch it, but it was a battle long lost. I still aced my exams though. I remember almost following out of my seat. The gaps. One word for GOT, astounding. These are a mu...

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will”. Anonymous. Why are we so afraid to go after our dreams and use the world as a runway to showcase them? I, for one was always doubting myself which in turn made me shy away from plenty of opportunities. Looking back, I do not recognise that little girl. When will we ever be the dream chasers we want to be? Looking at myself now, I still cannot believe this is me. I am in awe. So empowered and determined. I wake up everyday with the aim of working on my craft without an excuse. Because 8-10 years ago this would have been yet another dairy entry collecting dust. It is not so much about the content, it is more about taking that leap of faith. Why are you holding back? Release your inner creative and baptise us with it because we LOVE a queen/king who takes risks.                                      HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS
